8 If your ATV is traversing a sloping surface:
Be sure to ride with your weight positioned
towards the uphill side of the ATV to main-
tain proper balance. If the ATV starts to tip,
steer down the hill (if there are no obstacles
in your way) to regain balance. If you dis-
cover that the ATV is going to tip over, dis-
mount on the uphill side. (See pages
7-32–7-33.)
8 If your ATV encounters shallow water:
Ride slowly and carefully through slow
moving water, watching for obstacles. Be
sure to let water drain from the ATV and
CHECK YOUR BRAKES FOR PROPER
OPERATION when you come out of the
water. Do not continue to ride your ATV
until you have regained adequate braking
ability. (See pages 7-34–7-35.)
